This is Kristina’s Zazzle shop – (https://www.zazzle.com/capturedbyKC) Kristina says, “Beauty Within Creation is a shop that was created in hopes that we may all look a little deeper within ourselves, to find the beauty in everything, and to motivate each other. We are all flawed and imperfect, but instead of looking at those imperfections we should shed light on what makes us and those around us beautiful. The little joys, inspirations, and times of faith that we tend to forget are what inspire us to become better, to dream, grow, and to change. When we look for the beauty within creation, we can change our perspectives, our actions, and who we are.” Kristina continues, ” I believe that art is an expression of the soul. Art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions. It is one of the deepest and most pure forms of limitless expression.” I love what Kristina said!! Kristina has tons of items in her shop. Each of us is showing others’ work also as part of our dedication to highlight Facebook Zazzle artists. Thank you so very much!! ~ Diane
